How to Get Started?
-
Connect the Module: Attach the VCC pin to a 5V power source and the GND pin to ground. Connect the AOUT (analog output) pin to an analog input pin on your microcontroller.
-
Adjust Sensitivity: Use the onboard potentiometer to set the sensitivity of the sensor according to your specific needs for gas or smoke detection.
-
Write Your Code: Develop a program to read the analog voltage from the sensor using the
analogRead()
function. The voltage output will vary based on the concentration of gases or smoke detected. -
Test the Sensor: Power up your system and test the MQ-2 sensor by introducing different gases or smoke to ensure it responds accurately and provides the desired alerts.
-
Implement Features: Use the sensor data to trigger alarms, notifications, or control systems in response to detected gases or smoke, enhancing safety and environmental monitoring.
